Sofia Coppola Comes Out to Support Niece Gia and Her Fashion Film's Debut

Gia Coppola premiered her short film What’s Up with a private screening at Mister H at Mondrian SoHo Sunday night, and proved to her guests that talent really does run in the family. The film, featuring pieces from Wren’s Spring 2012 collection and accessories from jewelry designer Dana Lorenz, follows teenager Bella over the course of a languid Saturday afternoon in L.A. With a touch of melancholia, fantasy, and teenage angst, it showcases the budding director’s favorite themes. The cocktail party attracted the likes of Sofia Coppola (Gia’s aunt), Nora Zehetner, Kate Schelter, and Wren’s designer, Melissa Coker. “I had seen some of [Gia’s] work,” said Coker, “and really responded to her aesthetic—everything from the subject matter to the quality of light. She has an amazing style that is all her own.”
